Episode 2: “Fry me a River”

This renegade band of motorcycling flavor-seekers invades Mississippi, a land where just about everything is deep fried and sauced in secrecy. Watch and marvel as I pound dry leaves, fake a convulsion, and sing the blues...badly. Starting with the big Red Stick (Baton Rouge) we make our way north into Mississippi for some catfish cuisine, outstanding fried chicken, and see the birthplace of bottled Coca Cola.
